Where
do you begin creating with photos from generations past?
-
What
do you wish you knew about your parents when they were
growing up? What life lessons do you want to pass on
to your children?
-
How
do you document the challenging times in your life?
-
How
do you create layouts that tell special stories when
you don't have any photos?
The
goal of Yesterday & Today is to help you meaningfully
document and celebrate life by looking to the past
before approaching the stories of today. Join Ali
Edwards in this inspiring workshop, the final installment
of our 2009 4Experts series,
as she helps you create satisfying answers to these questions
in your scrapbooks.
Ali
says,

The
benefit of looking to the past is that we gain perspective.
We see things differently after developing an awareness
of what we know and what we wished we knew. Looking
back, even if we're just viewing old photos of people
we don't know, can change the way we approach the
photos we take and the stories we tell today. |
 |
The
first six weeks of Yesterday & Today will address
topics related to yesterday: dealing with old photos,
identifying which stories mean the most, gaining perspective.
We'll then transition for a couple of weeks and shift
our focus to cover stories that include content from both
the past and the present. As we wind down, we'll devote
our energies to exploring techniques that help us tell
the stories of everyday life right now.
Yesterday
& Today is designed to:
-
Begin
the journey of creating a life-affirming 12" x
12" album that mixes stories from the past and
the present.
-
Be about you OR about someone you love (or
you can do a bit of both). Each weekly layout topic
can be translated into a page about yourself or a loved
one.
-
Be
manageable even during this extremely busy time of year.
There will be just one layout project each week. You
will not be scrapbooking your entire life story over
the duration of this workshop.
-
Be an opportunity to use what you have from your current
stash of supplies.
-
Challenge
(or affirm) the way you think about scrapbooking.
It is less about playing with products and more about
focusing on the words and photos.
-
Inspire you towards a deeper understanding of the power
scrapbooking can have in the way we live our day to
day lives.
-
Give you a plethora of ideas for additional layouts
to complete and stories to tell once the workshop is
finished.
-
Instill confidence in your personal creative process.
- Be
open to all memory keepers whether you prefer paper or digital
(or a bit of both).
Some
of the topics covered in the weekly tutorials include:
-
Scanning, enlarging, printing, and working with heritage/older
photos.
-
Creating layouts without photos.
-
Feelings vs. Facts storytelling.
-
Using
pop culture as inspiration for documenting life.
-
Letting go of the quest for perfection and dumping the
guilt.
- Addressing
the challenging stories of our lives.
